I lived in Texas about a dozen years- no income tax- no tax on Rx and a lot of stuff. But a run of the mill, $100,000 home in the 1990's had a property tax of about $4500 per year. They are going to tax somewhere to provide services. And with all the extra they now spend on boarder security, I'm sure there's a tax for that. Politicians just do stuff to make you feel good and love them.

I'll be surprised if the stores don't creep their prices up to capture the 4.5% themselves.

Also, a rotisserie chicken is still taxed but a party tray is not? That makes sense. Lots of stuff on the exempt list shouldn't have been on it. Vitamins being one.
While I mostly agree, a lot of people buy the party trays for an assortment of raw veggies to snack on. We do it at times when we are really trying to eat healthier. I also know several parents that buy them for their kids to eat instead of junk food.

A rotisserie chicken is prepared food.
